Best Breakfast in French Quarter. I travel to New Orleans frequently, and no matter what hotel I'm staying at, I always go to Hillery's (formerly known as 827 1/2 Toulouse) for breakfast. They don't have the largest breakfast selection, but after trying their Eggs Benedict and New Orleans style hash browns, I never minded eating the same meal multiple mornings.

Hillery's on Toulouse.. This place is now called Hillery's on Toulouse and owned by Chef Ed & Hillery Moise. Tucked behind a small lounge, it could easily be missed. It was close to our hotel so we tried it. The pre-dinner bread roll was hard and dry. A terrible start, but their version of BBQ Shrimp was actually pretty good. Next we tried the Corn & Shrimp Chowder and the White Bean & Smoked Sausage soup. Both were very good. My entree (Crawfish Vonnie) was Liguini with crawfish in a spicy cream sauce. It was tasty but not particularly amazing. My wife had the Daily fish special (Redfish) sauteed with crawfish, white wine, and lemon butter - also pretty good. For dessert we had the caramel custard and it was excellent. The dining room was attractive but the service was spotty. Prices are resonable for the French Quarter. The wine list is limited.

What a Wonderful Surprise. This hotel menu was in our room and looked interesting so we decided to try it. What a wonderful surprise. Our waiter was excellent and the food was suberb. It was also quite resonable for the quarter - about 65.00 for two people, 3 courses! We will go back next year....
